Very tempted by the new format, but i have to lose a large amount of podge and train non stop till the last minute to get match and grade fit.

Only 60 places too so that really put me off

I will apply and then gracefully pull out at the last minute to retain some dignity ;)

The price seems high, have they always been £30?

Entry fee
•Senior competitors: £30.00 + £3.75 (half price entry to Cliffhanger) = £33.75

Not exactly expensive. Potentially a two day event. They build the wall for the comp etc etc etc

I'm Having a punt, cos i don't know when to give up. Any others on here? Willackers?

Does anyone know how many of our strong women are going to be there ? Last I saw Shauna was in America along with Puccio and I remember hearing something about Mina going on a trip to rocklands all summer... just wondering if they are going to be competing or not??

I've entered, I think the world cup format is much better. My preperation has been spending the last 5 days at Glastonbury Festival  :pissed: I'm going to be on top form  :slap:

Good lad. I'll be supporting you for using the classic Sharpe pre competition training plan.

I've asked BMC twice. They've not bothered answering.

The BMC (ie Rob Adie) was dropping stuff off at the park today and he said it was being webcast. But it isn't exactly being very well publicised - I have asked for the link so we can publicise it via The Works

I thought about entering, but on the BMC site it said "Approximate grades of problems: Senior male V4-V9/V7-V10"

I can only do Font grades

checked their website. They are. But they're a pay per view effort.

Ho hum.

Good luck Rodma & Willackers.

you can easily come over to cliffhanger and join us under the tent and watch/support this great sporting event.

just googled that and found that it stands for VERY severe!

sounds very difficult, but apparantly very difficult is not even as hard as VS!  you must be one of those people who do stuff that only 1% of climbers can do

Whilst it sounds like a funtime day out for all, given the forecast I shall be out climbing in the great outdoors... :) *

Hang on, looks like that's the 2010 page. So that's actually quite a good price for time travel.

Can't find anything about the 2013 event.

The good old BMC, stubbornly persevering with their V grades despite the fact that only people who live in London and Fiend now use them.
